October Events OPENERS

A DOUBLE DOSE OF DANCE

Russian citizens who defect are always big news. But Russian dancers who defect are not only big news; they’re big box-office attractions. Baryshnikov, Makarova and Godunov became American media stars the instant they leaped over the Russian border. Perhaps less well-known to the American public are Valentina and Leonid Kozlov, who sought and received political asylum from the USSR during the Bolshoi Ballet’s last American tour in 1979. Both are now principal dancers with the New York City Ballet.

The Dallas Ballet is presenting the Kozlovs for two performances, October 15 and 16 at the Majestic Theatre. The Koz-lovs’ program includes excerpts from the classic Bolshoi repertory including Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and La Bayadere. For a city that gets to see precious little classical ballet, the Kozlovs’ visit to Dallas should be as big an event as their defection.

The Dallas Ballet opens its own season with artistic director Flemming Flindt’s full-length ballet, The Toreador. With the appearance of Ib Andersen, one of New York City Ballet’s brightest stars, the company continues its practice of featuring guest artists. Andersen will dance two performances (Thursday and Saturday) as Alonzo, a Spanish toreador who falls in love with an innkeeper’s daughter, a situation that’s complicated by the arrival of Celeste, a French ballerina.

The Koslovs perform Oct 15 at 8 pm and October 16 at 2 pm. The Dallas Ballet performs Oct 20 & 21 at 8 pm, Oct 22 at 2 & 8 pm & Oct 23 at 2 pm. Majestic Theatre, 1925 Elm. Tickets: $25-$5. 744-4430.

PRIME PRINTS OF THE PAST

Early this year, Fort Worth’s Amon Carter Museum quietly acquired a prime collection of American prints in New York. The works neatly filled the gaps in the museum’s own print collection; many of them were works that any museum would envy. Among the etchings, lithographs and other graphics was a complete set of Grant Wood prints; Venetian Filigree, an outstanding Whistler etching; the lithographic version of George Bellows’ famous Stag at Sharkey’s; and major works by Childe Hassam, Edward Hopper, Reginald Marsh and other early-modern American artists.

This is a particularly appropriate time for the museum to show off its recent acquisitions in the exhibit Whistler to Wood: American Prints from the Amon Carter Museum Collection, on view through the end of the year. With more than 100 works, the show serves as a mini-history of American printmaking.

Through Nov 13 at the Amon Carter Museum, 3501 Camp Bowie, Fort Worth. Tue-Sat 10-5, Sun 1-5:30. (817) 738-1933.

SHARP-FOCUS SATIRE

The fifth season of Stage #1 begins October 12 when its production of Larry Shue’s new farce, The Foreigner, opens at the Greenville Avenue Theatre. Of all the young (and not so young) theater groups in Dallas, Stage #1 is the most definite in its focus. “We are here to do new, artistically interesting, mostly American scripts with a commitment to high quality in acting and production values,” says artistic director Jack Clay.

In The Foreigner, Randy Moore Dlavs an Englishman who fights his midlife crisis with a retreat to a vacation spot in the rural Deep South. To ensure solitude, he pretends not to know English, but the friendly natives proceed to teach him the language. The misunderstandings multiply quickly, and soon men wearing sheets appear.

Oct 12-Nov 20 at Stage #1, Greenville Avenue Theatre, 2914 Greenville. Wed-Fri at 8:15 pm, Sat at 5:30 & 9 pm, Sun at 7 pm. Tickets $10 Fri & Sat at 9 pm; $8.50 Wed, Thur & Sun; $5 Sat at 5:30 pm. 824-2552 or 760-9542.

CHAMBER OF VOICES

World premieres, American premieres, Texas premieres and Dallas premieres are not unusual for Voices of Change, a professional chamber ensemble dedicated to the performance of serious contemporary music. During the past eight years, the SMU-based ensemble has presented concerts of new music at points as diverse as Brownwood, Texas, and West Berlin. Along the way, the members of the ensemble have won praise both for their playing ability and for their eclectic approach to the repertoire.

This year, Voices of Change offers a five-concert subscription season as well as five free brown-bag concerts (the first of which is October 17 at 12:10 pm) at the Central Public Library, 1515 Young.

The opening subscription concert will feature a Fanfare by Dallas composer Donald Erb, Joseph Schwantner’s “Music of Amber,” Charles Wuorinen’s Bearbutungen 垻ber das Glogaur Liederbuch and the world premiere of the Suite for chamber ensemble from the opera Suor Isabella by Dallas composer Robert Xavier Rodriguez.

Oct 21 at 8:15 pm at Caruth Auditorium, Owen Arts Center, SMU. Season tickets $32; individual tickets $8. 692-3189.

THEATER



Cotton Patch Gospel. This is basically a Southern-fried country/Western revue with music by Harry Chapm, which sets St. Matthew’s gospel in Georgia of the Eighties: Jerusalem is Atlanta and so forth.

5th of July. Writing like an Ozark Chekhov, Lanford Wilson brings together three generations of his beloved Talley clan (also featured in “Talley’s Folly” and “A Tale Told”) for an Independence Day celebration at the homestead outside Lebanon, Missouri.

Good Night, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Con-an Doyle’s mastermind sleuth meets femme fatale Irene Adler (the maddeningly clever blackmailer from “A Scandal in Bohemia”) in this jaunty little comedy-mystery by Charles Dee Mitchell. Judging from the New Arts Theatre’s first production of the play a few years ago, it is much more fun than most stage whodunits. Through Oct 15 at the New Arts Theatre, 702 Ross at Market. Wed & Thur at 8 pm, Fri & Sat at 8:30 pm, Sun at 2:30 & 7:30 pm. Tickets $10 Fri 8. Sat, $7 50 Wed. Thur & Sun. 761-9064.

Rosencrantz and Guildenatern Are Dead.

Tom Stoppard’s 1967 play has lost none of its laughs or occasional shivers. The production here is Dallas’ first professional staging of this now elderly piece of avant-garde theater Norma Young directs Through Oct 30 at Theatre Three, the Quadrangle, 2800 Routh Tue-Sat at 8:15 pm. Sun at 2:30 & 7 pm Tickets $13 50 Fri & Sat, $11 Tue-Thur&Sun 871-3300.

(817) 332-6238.

Hay Fewer. Noel Coward’s 1925 comedy seems to be about a disastrous weekend house party with the eccentric Bliss family. What it’s really about is giving practiced players of British high comedy an unmatched op-portunity to strut their skillful stuff. It’s also probably Coward’s best play. Through Oct 16 at Dallas Repertory Theatre. NorthPark Center. Wed Sat at 8:15 pm. Sun at 3 pm. Tickets $10 Fri & Sat, $8 Wed & Thur, $9 Sun ($1 50 discount for persons over 65). 369-8966.

The Merchant of Venice. It may be full of good quotations, but Shakespeare’s tale of love and money in his never never land version of Italy has been making people a little nervous lately. Are the heroes anti-Semitic or merely anti-Shylock? Are the heroes really anti-heroes? Or is the hero Shylock? This small-scaled production in Stage West’s studio may provide some answers. Oct 12-22 at Stage West, 821 W Vickery. Fort Worth. Wed & Thur at 8 pm. Fri & Sat at 8:30 pm. Tickets $7 Fri & Sat. $6 Wed & Thur (817) 332-6238.

It’s a fitting project for the Callier Theater, deservedly well-regarded for its flamboyant visual theatrics. Preview performance Oct 13. Oct 14-31 at the UTD/Callier Theater of the Deaf. Callier Center for Communication Disorders, 1966 Inwood. Fri & Sat at 8:15 pm, Sun at 2:30 pm. Tickets $6; $4 for students and persons over 65 or under 12, 783-3041 (Voice or TTY).

NIGHTLIFE

ENTERTAINMENT/DANCING



Belle Starr. If Levi’s originated in the Old West, then designer jeans may have originated at Belle Starr-the New West. But Belle Starr isn’t too slick: The semi-urban cowboys and cowgirls who polka and two-step on Belle’s large dance floor certainly know Hank Williams when they hear him. (7724 N Central Expwy near Southwestern. 750-4787. Mon, Tue & Sat 7 pm-2 am, Wed-Fri 6 pm-2 am. Sun 4 pm-2 am. All credit cards.)

Caf坢 Dallas. Newly remodeled Cafe Dallas sports ceiling fans, slick posters, obligatory potted plants and smiling waitresses bedecked in slinky red dresses. The club’s circular, casinolike layout seems conducive to just about any sort of bar behavior, from frenzied dancing on the split-level dance floor to intimate whispering on the cushioned couches that line the walls. But all you beautiful people partial to sweatsuit chic, beware: sneakers-however expensive they might be-are not allowed. (5500 Greenville. 987-0066. Mon-Fri 4 pm-2 am. Sat & Sun 8 pm-2 am. Happy hour: Mon-Fri 4-9 pm. MC, V, AE.)

Confetti. This is possibly the most eclectic bar in Dallas. Dangling bicycles, zigzag neon and poster-plastered walls expose a theme bar that couldn’t decide on a theme. If you can dig your way through the crowd, you’ll discover two flashy dance floors, several well-manned bars-maybe even Mr. or Ms. Right. Music ranges from Fifties doo-wa to Eighties do-whatever. (5201 Matilda off Lovers Lane. 369-6969. Mon-Thur 4:30 pm-2 am, Fri 4:30 pm-4 am, Sat 7 pm-4 am. Sun 7 pm-2 am. Weekend cover $3. All credit cards.)

坢lan. Ever since Dallas’ original beautiful-people bar underwent a bit of cosmetic surgery and reopened in early March, its mood has changed a bit, and the word is smooth. Although 坢lan still glitters-only now it’s a tad more hi-tech-it’s quieter, more sophisticated and generally less showy for the sake of being showy. (5111 Greenville. 692-9855. Tue-Fri 4:30 pm-2 am. Sat 7 pm-2 am. Closed Sun & Mon. Happy hour: Tue-Fri 4:30-8 pm. All credit cards.)

Four Seasons Ballroom. This ballroom offers big-band music for ballroom dancing. A strict dress code is enforced: Dresses for the ladies and coats and ties for the gentlemen. Only setups, beer and soft drinks are served, except on Fridays, when food is available. Cover varies; free dance lessons are offered. (4930 Military Pkwy. 349-0390. Wed 8:45 pm-12:15 am, Fri 9 pm-12:30 am. No credit cards.)

Ground Zero. Welcome to Sixties go-go gone New Wave gaga. “Dallas’ first nuclear bar” features live bands nightly, plenty of parquet and…oh, yeah…a dancing girl in a cage. (6844 Twin Hills, one block south of Park Lane. 363-0167. Daily: 8 pm-2 am. Cover varies. MC, V, AE.)

Hot Klub. Dallas’ premier punk-rock showplace is, in a word, authentic. The Hot Klub features some of the best New Wave bands in Texas as well as groups from all across the country. The atmosphere.. .well, there is no atmosphere, except for the music and the crowd, which can be an unruly – dare we say rough? – bunch of serious rockers. (4350 Maple.)

Nick’s Uptown. Inside the dark windows at Nick’s you’ll find what is perhaps the finest musical club in Texas. The musicians (usually big-name jazz or rock ’n’ roll) come from near and far. But buying a ticket doesn’t necessarily guarantee you a seat -it’s sometimes standing room only. But the fans just keep coming back. (3606 Greenville. 827-0561: ticket information 827-4802. Daily: 8 pm-2 am. MC. V, AE.)

Packard’s. This Old Town dance club gave Confetti-goers a place to go when the line at Confetti grew too long. Now the Packard’s line is just as long, so take your pick-both bars are flashy, large and swingles-soaked. Packard’s features a wide, open dance floor, lots of fluorescent colors and pop music mixed with Fifties and Sixties tunes. (5500 Greenville, Suite 403. 361-9517 Mon-Thur 4:30 pm-2 am, Fri 4:30 pm-3 am, Sat 7 pm-3 am. Sun noon-2 am. Weekend cover: $3. MC. V, AE.)

Poor David’s Pub. After considerable deliberation, Poor David moved his hole-in-the-wall folk music establishment from its longtime McKinney Avenue location to the lights of lower Greenville. But he didn’t leave behind his commitment to solid live music. Kerr-ville Folk Festival regulars, including legendary folk singers Odetta and Tom Paxton, appear often, as do Steve Fromholz, Shake Russell and John Vandiver. We miss the coffeehouse look of mismatched tables and dinette chairs, but the new version still retains much of Poor David’s old flair. (1924 Greenville. 821-9891. Mon & Wed-Sat 4 pm-2 am, Tue 7 pm-2 am. Closed Sun. No credit cards.)

Popsicle Toes. The name may be a bit odd (it’s taken from the Michael Franks tune), but this place has great jazz/funk and an enjoyable, casual clientele. We’ve never been to a Dallas bar that’s so comfortably integrated or felt so at home on a first visit just sitting and listening to the music. Regulars such as Phyrework and Buster Brown seem able to do it all, from jazz to rock to country. (5627 Dyer. 3610477. Tue-Sun 8 pm-2 am. Closed Mon. Happy hour: Fri 4-7 pm. MC, V, AE.)

Strictly TaBu. A recent return to TaBu confirms our faith in one of Dallas’ best jazz bars, not just for the jazz (which is frequently excellent) but for the easy, unpretentious atmosphere. We like the dining area in the back, where very good pizza and pasta are dished up. This is the perfect place for a late-night rendezvous with an intimate admirer or an old friend. (4111 Lomo Alto. 522-8101. Live music Wed-Sun at 9:30 pm. Food served daily 6 pm-1 am. Bar open Tue-Sat till 2 am. Sun & Mon till 1 am. All credit cards.)

Studebaker’s. This latest offering in nostalgic dance bars with car themes gets its name from the bright red Studebaker at one end of the dance floor. Stude-baker’s disc jockey favors hits from the Fabulous Fifties and Sixties (the club doesn’t play any music recorded after 1969), and the waitresses wear poodle skirts and saddle oxfords. It all makes for a boppin good time. (8788 N Central Expwy in NorthPark East. 696-24 75. Mon-Saf) 1 am-2 am, Sun 4 pm-2 am. Dress code after 4 pm. MC. V. AE.)

Tango. If you can’t SUAD. don’t Tango. SUAD is Tango-lingo for Shut Up And Dance, and SUAD is what Tango is all about. Tango was a bank building before Shannon Wynne converted it into a labyrinthian shrine to dancing. There’s a cavernous two-story room dedicated to live music; another room with a large, fenced-in dance floor and recorded music; a video arcade (in the old bank vault); and a video lounge filled with lots of zap food (Tango-lingo for fast food), a microwave oven and 23 TVs, all playing the same rock videos. The music’s loud, the rooms are dark and the crowd’s as diverse as the bands that are booked here. (1827 Greenville. 821-5800; box office 824-1101 Sun, Tue & Wed 7 pm-2 am. Thur-Sat 7 pm-4 am. Closed Mon. MC. V. AE)

Texas Tea House. The Tea House is a friendly, trend-less country/Western spot in which to drink beer and enjoy the disharmonious but good-natured Will Barnes Band. The beer is cold, the crowd is always rowdy and the bleachers (this is strictly a beer garden) aren’t too bad, unless the night is chilly. (3400 Kings Road. 526-9171. Tue-Sat 8 pm-2 am. Fifties rock ’n’ roll night every Tue. No credit cards)



NIGHTLIFE

DRINKING



Andrew’s. The decor here is Scottish pub with lots of brick; the service is efficient. The drink menu is larger than the food menu (great for liquid diets), with specialties ranging from hot coffee drinks to tutti-frutti tropical knockouts. (3301 McKinney. 521-6535; and 14930 Midway, 385-1613. Daily: 11:15 am-2 am. Happy hour: Mon-Fri 2-7 pm, daily 11 pm-2 am. All credit cards.)

Balboa Cafe. This relaxing, dark fern bar offers good drinks, expeditious service and moderate crowds. The menu consists of reasonably priced and filling sandwiches, burgers, salads and smooth guacamole and chips. (3604 Oak Lawn. 521-1068. Daily: 11 am-2 am. Happy hour: Mon-Fri 4-7 pm. All credit cards.)

Chelsea Comer. Almost hidden at the intersection of Monticello and McKinney, Chelsea Corner offers the “fun” food and drinks of upper Greenville Avenue in a casual atmosphere more akin to lower Greenville Avenue-without being either. The well drinks are potent and reasonably priced, and the special drinks (such as the frozen Tumbleweed and the Scarlet Fever) are luscious. (4830 McKinney. 522-3501 Mon-Fri 11 30 am-2 am. Sat & Sun noon-2 am. Happy hour: Mon-Fri 2-7pm, daily 11 pm-2 am. AE. MC. V. DC)

The Dan. Located in the Stoneleigh Hotel, this is the essence of what a bar used to be: very small, very dark and very red. with very strong drinks. (2927 Maple. 742-7111. Mon-Sat 11 am-midnight. Sun noon-mid-night. All credit cards)

Eight-O. This still gets our vote for the most original bar in town. The sanitarium-green walls don’t seem quite as shocking now as when the Eight-O first opened its New Wave doors more than two years ago. but the atmosphere is still spirited; the clientele, fascinating; and the jukebox, bitchin’. (The Quadrangle, 2800 Routh, Suite 247. 871-1180. Mon-Sat 11:30 am-2 am, Sun 7 pm-2 am. Live jazz at lunch Wed-Sat Happy hour: Mon-Fri 4-7 pm. MC. V. AE.)

Greenville Avenue Country Club. Take one step in side the door of this low-key, easygoing place, and the name “country club” takes on a new meaning. Drinks are served inside the “clubhouse,” where the surroundings are warm and comfortable. But the only big shots at this country club are the ones poured into your glass. (3619 Greenville. 826-5650. Mon-Sat 11 am-2 am, Sun noon-2 am. MC, V, AE.)

Greenville Bar & Grill. Dallas’ oldest bar (or so its owners claim) now has a quieter adjoining room that somewhat alleviates the overcrowding. You may be more comfortable in the annex, especially if you want to carry on a conversation, but the real GB & G is still out in the boisterous main room. The drinks are straight-up and strong, and the entertainment is eccentric and erratic. (2821 Greenville. 823-6691. Mon-Sat 11:30 am-2 am, Sun noon-2am. Happy hour: Mon-Fri 4-7 pm. AE.)

Joe Miller’s. This is a perfect late-afternoon bar for friendly conversation: It’s easy on the background music, soft on the lights and hard on the sledgehammer drinks that, along with the media crowd, have helped build Joe’s substantial reputation. But watch that third drink. (3531 McKmney. 521-2261. Mon-Fri noon-2 am, Sat 6 pm-2 am. MC, V. AE.)

La Cave. Ah, a place for lovers, for discussions and for good wine. This small, chic wine shop/bar has a walk-in cellar with a fine collection of foreign and domestic wines. A few dinner entrees are offered, but we suggest sticking to the cheese and to the nut and fruit trays. (2926 N Henderson. 826-2190. Wine shop: Mon-Thur 10 am-11 pm. Fri 10 am-11:30 pm, Sat noon-11.30 pm. Bistro: Mon- Thur 11:30 am-2 pm & 5:30-11 pm, Fri 11:30 am-2 pm & 5:30-11:30 pm, Sat noon-11:30 pm. All credit cards.)

The Lounge. This semi-art deco, semi-hi-tech retreat in the lobby of the Inwood Theatre is separated from the movies and the moviegoers by a wall of water and its own outside door. But the Lounge is sans ceiling, which allows patrons to share the view of the ocean-motif mural that floats high above the theater lobby. This is a wonderful place to discuss films-or just about anything – at great length. (5460 W Lovers Lane. 350-7834- Sun-Wed 5 pm-1 am. Thur-Sat 5 pm-2 am. Happy hour: Mon-Fri 5-7 pm. AE.)

Nostromo. Before venturing to Nostromo, it is advisable to have one or all of the following: (1) the looks of a New York model, (2) the clothes of a New York designer, (3) the blase countenance of a New York socialite or (4) an entourage. If the above applies, welcome to Nostromo. If not, good luck getting in without a wait, especially on Thursdays and weekends. Nostromo offers the jet set and the would-be jet set strong drinks, good service and a stark, well-lit place to spread their feathers. (4515 Travis. 528-8880. Mon-Fri 11:30 am-2 am. Sat 6 pm-2 am. Closed Sun. Reservations recommended. Jackets required after 6 pm. MC, V, AE.)

On the Air. Video addicts, rejoice! Death to conversationalists! Here you can sip your favorite drink and gawk at both the New Wave videos and the back of your companion (who has twisted around in his seat to see the big screen, too). The late-night Thai snacks-namely, the egg rolls and the stuffed chicken wings-are a giant step above bland bar eats, but don’t order the rubbery spicy noodles. (2114 Greenville. 827-6800. Mon- Thur 5 pm-2 am, Fri & Sat 5 pm-3 am. Closed Sun. AE; personal checks accepted.)

St. Martin’s. St. Martin’s has been among our favorite romantic nightspots for a long time. We don’t know of another place in town with such unassuming class, good service, pleasant classical music and an intelligent selection of wines. (3020 Greenville. 826-0940. Lunch: Mon-Fri 11-3, Sat 11-5: dinner: Mon-Thur 5-11, Fri & Sat 5 pm-1 am. Sun 5-11 pm. MC. AE. DC.)

Stonelelgh P. This is an artist’s bar. And a businessman’s bar. And a construction worker’s bar. And a housewife’s night-out-on-the-town bar. And just about anyone’s bar. There are no pretenses here, just a lot of open space with room to “do your own thing.” There’s a great jukebox, a varied selection of magazines and always an interesting assortment of people. (2926 Maple. 741-0824. Mon-Sat 11 am-2 am. Sun noon-midnight. Happy hour: Mon-Fri 4-7 pm. AE.)

Vickery Feed Store. This deli/bar has an odd but appealing mixture of country and class. Wooden walls, a wooden floor and a hometown atmosphere are combined with burgundy vinyl booths and slick black tabletops in what turns out to be a very pleasant watering hole. Vickery has good drinks, great deli/snack food and some of the friendliest service in town. (6918 Greenville. 363-9198. Mon-Fri 6 am-2 am. Sat 8 am-2 am, Sun Sam-midnight. Happy hour: Mon-Sat 3-7 pm. Sun noon-7 pm MC. V. AE.)

The Wine Press. This is the perfect place to go on a chilly, damp winter night or a balmy, starlit summer eve-ning-those times when you’re looking for romance, intimacy and spirits. The Wine Press is decorated with wine bottles from floor to ceiling on almost every wall. The atmosphere is low-key and elegantly casual; the service, friendly but not hovering; and the wine selection, extensive-to say the least. (4217 Oak Lawn. 522-8720. Mon-Sat 11 am-2 am. Sun 11:30 am-2 am. All credit cards.)

Zanzibar Deli. A fresh face on the burger-spattered strip of lower Greenville Avenue, Zanzibar offers drinks and good deli food in a colorful cafe setting. The decor – neon, glass bricks and pink-and-green walls-is odd enough to work. (2912 Greenville. 828-2250. Sun 11 am-midnight. Mon- Thur 11:30 am-2 am, Fri & Sat 11:30 am-3:30 am. Happy hour: Daily 4-7 pm. AE.)



FORT WORTH NIGHTLIFE



Billy Bob’s Texas. Bigger does not always mean best. and that’s quite evident at the world’s largest honky-tonk. Of course, this novelty club has a lot going for it: two restaurants. 42 bar stations, a real bull-riding arena and several shops. But when there’s a concert going on. Billy Bob is is the last place you’d want to be – unless, of course, you’re partial to being trampled by thousands of people (the club can hold 6,000) and don’t mind paying a two-digit admission charge that affords you a view of the rafters. (2520 N Commerce in the stockyards. Metro 429-5979. Mon-Sat 9:30 am-2 am. Sun noon-2 am. Reduced cover charge Mon-Sat 4-8 pm. MC. V, AE.)

Blossoms Downstairs. This live music club is the downstairs half of the restaurant of the same name. The likes of hometown hero Delbert McClinton and Roomful of Blues, an East Coast swing-jazz band, can be found here, along with an assortment of regulars. The dance floor is large enough to move around on. but watch out for the low ceiling. (5201 Camp Bowie. (817) 732-2082. Tue-Sun 9 pm-2 am. Closed Mon. MC, V, AE.)

The Blue Bird. Even when the band’s not playing, you’ll feel like dancing at The Blue Bird. The |ukebox is the best in Fort Worth. But then, the patrons of this near-Southside club don’t want that to get around; they know a good thing when they’ve found it. The club is packed nearly every weekend, with regulars dancing to the infectious rhythm of Robert Ealey and the Bluesblasters. This is rhythm and blues at its finest, but sssshhh! (5636 Wellesley (817) 732-6243. Fri & Sat 7 pm-2 am. No credit cards.)

The Pickin’ Parlour. Just up the road from the popular White Elephant Saloon is a club that is unusually devoid of the hordes of Yankees who invade this touristy area each weekend. The reason? They take their beer drinkin’ and two-steppin’ seriously here, folks. Those who can’t get their feet to move to the one-two, one-two-three beat get lost in the shuffle-literally. There’s no room on the dance floor for lessons, either. But once you get the hang of it, you’ll never go back to rock ’n’ roll. (103 W Exchange in the stockyards. (817) 624-2592. Tua-Sat 5 pm-1:30 am. Closed Sun & Mon. No credit cards.)

The White Elephant Saloon. In 1887. Luke Short,then the owner of the White Elephant, shot it out with aformer U.S. marshal. Today, the Elephant has country/Western music six nights a week and lots of touriststrying desperately to learn the two-step on a smalldance floor. (106 E Exchange. (817) 624-8273. Mon-Sat 11 am-2 am. Closed Sun. MC, V. AE)
